Unable to setup a Bridged Network - w7 host ubuntu guest

[racho213]

Host: Windows 7
Guest: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS



Guys I am unable to setup a bridged network, I have not changed the default adapter settings,

It would be really appreciated if someone could look into this matter, and help me find the problem

I have attached the Host and guest network settings please have a look,

also this is what i get when i ifconfig:


dipen@dipen-v:~$ ifconfig

dipen@dipen-v:~$



whenever i try to ping it says unknown host

[Perryg]

Do you have a router in your LAN?
Also the ifconfig shows eth3 which usually indicates several failed attempts and MAC changes.
To fix that and return to eth0 edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or you can delete the rules and Linux will configure it on the next boot

[racho213]

hey perry, really appreciate all your help,

i deleted all the rules and also got the connection to eth0, but I am still unable to access the internet, what can be the reason?

and yes i don't have a router (I have a direct wireline broadband connection)

[Perryg]

You need to determine where it is failing.
Can you ping the gateway (the router address) from the guest?
Is it a DNS issue?
Ping yahoo.com & 98.139.183.24 and see if either replies.

What about the host firewall? Has it been set to allow this, and some Virus software could cause this.

[racho213]

Here we are:


when i try to ping yahoo i get the same result: Unknown host

with this I believe the default ubuntu firewall is disabled:

I dont have a router at my place, also I dont know how to check the DNS settings,
does this appear as a problem from the host side??

[racho213]

sorry just forgot,
here are the host firewall settings i dont know if this can help??

So no router. Where is the gateway address coming from then.

Bridged networking will require some kind of routing.

Have you tried NAT?

[racho213]

NAT is working perfectly well,

The problem is with Bridged network,

how to check the gateway address - you are talking about ,
also did you find any problems with the Host firewall settings ???

[Perryg]

One thing at a time. If you do not have a router to handle the different addresses Bridged is not going to work.
What is it you are trying to achieve?

[racho213]

I have to deploy openstack on the ubuntu VM,
upto my knowledge openstack requires Linux bridged connections, and does not work with NAT network connection.

once I am able to access the internet through the bridged network on the guest VM, that network in-turn will be divided in all the VMs created using openstack.

Please suggest me as to what i should do.

[Perryg]

The best approach is to buy a cheap router. You might be able to use software routing, but this is now outside the scope of this forum since you would have the exact same issue on a normal LAN (on metal).

Alright thankyou very much for all your help
